from Visual Studio blog ( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/06/08/visual-studio-express-2012-for-windows-desktop.aspx ), they have announced that Visual Studio 2012 express edition will support desktop development with C++, C# and VB after heard from community.
Glad that they have changed their original decision.

you can get get mingw gcc 4.7 from nuwen.net with boost 1.49 already prebuilt in the distribution and c++11 mode automatically enabled.

You will have a IDE that is fast, free, has most of C++11, and has a good debugger with STL visualizers

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:31:31 +0000http://pocoproject.org/blog/?p=567#comment-820I’ve had to go through a moderate amount of hoops to build OSS on Windows, mainly because I use mingw, not VC++.

So, I’m hoping this change will mean better support for those of us who are on Windows but don’t use VC++.

Disclaimer: I’ve just found POCO and i’m still trying to figure out how to build it, so my snide remark above may be mistargeted 🙂

After all, it’s Micro$oft.

It seems that Microsoft now is not a developers, developers, developers company anymore.
